Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fire Command?

Fire Command is a serious game. Players command fire rescue units and respond to fire and medical calls, emergencies, and manage resources across a dynamic city map. Fire Command blends the experience of a video game with a simulation to create a dynamic teaching tool.

Are there different types of missions?

Players will take on the role of emergency responders, answering a variety of incidents including fire calls, medical emergencies, technical rescues, and other situations typically handled by fire departments. From structure fires and vehicle accidents to hazardous material incidents and high-angle rescues, players must coordinate resources and act swiftly under pressure.

Do calls happen in real-time or queue-based?

Calls spawn in real-time, and responses are managed through a tactical overlay called Command Board.

What types of units can I deploy?

Engines, ladders, rescue units, hazmat teams, brush trucks, helicopters and more from the present era and the past.

How large is the Fire Command map?

The Fire Command map is a vast, recreation of Miami-Dade County, Florida — one of the most diverse and dynamic regions in the United States. Spanning over 2,000 square miles, the map authentically blends urban sprawl, coastal shoreline, suburban neighborhoods, rural farmland, industrial zones, and protected wetlands into a single, seamless world.

To the east, players will encounter the Atlantic Ocean, complete with marinas, cruise ports, and high-rise beachfront districts — ripe for responding to boat fires, water rescues, and storm-related emergencies. On the western frontier, the sprawling Everglades present a completely different challenge, where narrow levee roads, airboat trails, and remote outposts push fire rescue skills to the limit with wildfires, brush rescues, and wildlife encounters.

From Sunny Isles skyscrapers to Homestead's agricultural fields, the Fire Command map offers a living, breathing county with dynamic weather, day-night cycles, and hundreds of real-life call scenarios across every corner of the terrain.
